Theater Performance & Reviews

Guys and Dolls - 2000

"Lennie Watts as Nicely-Nicely Johnson has everyone in the house tapping their
toes with a dynamite "Sit Down You're Rockin' The Boat," worth the price of admission itself."
David Howard, East Providence Post

"Nice guys may finish last, but Nicely-Nicely stops the show."
The Providence Journal

Forever Plaid - 1998

"Watts especially stands out in this performance. Although he is a comedic staple
in many of the theater's productions, (and reason enough to see any performance he's in)
is is impressive to hear him belt it out while singing 'Cry' like an angst-ridden torch singer."
Lori Gemma - Timeout

"The Highpoint of the whole show for me -- and, judging by the outburst of applause,
for the audience -- is Watts belting out 'Cry'..."
Bill Rodriguez - The Providence Phoenix

Greater Tuna - 1997

"Watts especially is capable of getting beneath the skin of his many characters. We may
ugh at the sight of him when he first appears as Mrs. Bumiller -- in a lime-green polyester
outfit -- and he is very funny complaining about her kids and the many dogs that live at the
house. But there is a sadness beneath the surface and Watts manages to touch it, without
losing the laughs."
Jim Seavor - The Providence Journal

Jesus Christ Superstar

"If it is possible to upstage Jesus, actor Lennie Watts did so... Watts, who portrayed a
modern-day, cross-dressing King Herod, electrified the small theater with his voice and his
gay entourage."
Gigi Colson - The Call

The Wizard Of Oz - 1994

"Lennie Watts gave his inevitable bow to Bert Lahr, and still managed to create his own cowardly
lion, adorable and frightened and brave."
Jerry Kraft - KPBX-FM Spokane Public Radio
